It mon strous to expect that an innocent should know what i'i meant by the test necessary to convict the !Air, wh o has violated her person, and destroyednot only her own happiness, but 'irreparably wounded the hou.our of her family. And is such a man to escape, m'-rely becanse the law has raised insurmountabl e oh ' S'atelei in • his favour ? a man less a robber, who, after knocking down a traveller, takes a piece of mo ney from his pocket, and escapes conviction, because the traveller could not: identity the money, but could positiyelY swear to having been robbed by. the person who knocked him down ? And is - a modest woman to be lett unprotected by the law, because from her ignorance, she cannot explain what she does snot.cona; prebend ? Is the guilt of a ruffian the less who commits an assault with the intent of robbery, whether he effects . the robbe r y or not ? W ould a fellow be deem e d less guilty who puts his hand into a raan's pocket but could 6nn.l no money, than if he took out the ptirse ? Would a burglar, Who has brok en into a house in the dead of night, to the terro r of its helpless inmates, be less guilty because they could not tell the colour of his coat,, o r tlie lineaments of his face, having never seen tither, Paid thus prevented by their terror from identifying him ? But such is the absurdity of our laW. Every speGes of property is protected but that which is above 411 oriee—the honour and innocence of the fec male sex, which are left to the mercy of the spoliator. Surely a . nation. which . :prides itself upon the excellence of its Constitution, ought. to be gallant enough to protect the virtue of its :greatest ornament—the delicacy and, purity of the fair daughters of liberty. It is 'impossible for. us to speak too strong upon this subject ; but our indig notwn, like that of.a dumb man, is the greater, because he cannot express the very nature of his wrongs. Let us hope thatthe regenerator of our laws will not over look this oubject, but endeavour to correct the si ab surdity whi c h, h as b ut too l ong disgraced our Statute book. - • ' THE FUNDS.

His LORDSHIP had looked very carefully into all the papers in this case since yesterday. He now felt it his duty to state, that in the observations he made yesterday, on a letter written by the plaintiff's solicitors to the de fendant,.when the defendant applied for the payment - of a monthly sum of 251., refusing to advance it., and rejecting the ,obligations of a partner on the part of Mr. M'Coy, the Court. had overstated the effect of that letter front what was stated of it at the bar. That letter could not have prejudiced those respectable solicitors' client at all. WitiLrespect to the case itself; his Lordship was quite satisfied that it was not a case in which the Court ought, in the first instance, to grant an injunction. If the parties wished the Court to give its reasons at length for forming this judgment, his Lordship - would be quite prepared to do so at any time ; but if his Lordship might, he would strenuously advise the parties to settle their disputes by the interposition of a third person. If the defendant continued to keep - an account of what he published, that was the utmost extent to which the Court would interfere to compel. The plaintiffs were not to sup pose that they were to be excused from accounting for the publication they carried on. Mr. HEALD did not think his client would rail for his Lordship's reasons, after the intimation he had made.- . —He would advise his client to come to an arrangement if possible, JONES V. RASSITT ANT) ANOTHER. Mr. HORNE was instructed to movet.tparte for an injunction. The parties lived in Wales ; the plaintiff was the personal repre sentative of his deceased brother, who had entered into an agree ment with Mr. Bassett for a lease of certain premises., consisting of mines, &e. A Mr. Read was a trustee, and in that character made a party to the agreement, which was signed by him as well as a Mr. Hopkins, an attorney. Possession was given ; the mines began to be worked ; and rent at different periods paid. Mr. Read had thought proper to bring an ejectment, which was just about being tried at the Court of Great Sessions in Wales. Mr. Jones was not certain whether he could show a title at law,and there fore might fail in the action ; Wile did, the mines would be titoppeAl and ruined. The bill consequently was filed by him, for the pur pose of enforcing a specific performance of the agreement, and pray ing for an injunction to restrain .the trial of the ej ectment. The Learned Counsel felt, however, that he could not go so far as to ask the injunction to stay the trial, but only to stay execution on the judgment, if the plaintiff at law obtained a verdict. His LORDSHIP ordered the injunction to this extent s subject to any direction the Court might think proper to give hereafter, with respect. to execution, , delivery of possession, &c. 5 and with liberty to either party to apply to the Court immediately after the sessions were over. Mr. liorttir. hoped his 4rtieolp would order that service of the minuydnlight be suflieient, because to tre upsides with the Welch attorney., tho' plaintiff would now have to travel at - the no:: of twelve wle' an hour. lie Loar,suir had no objection, but the injunction would have tp he drawn.up. CORONER OF STAFFOrtD. Thit case underwent some further discussion at the bar in the course of today, and ended by His LORDSHIP stating, that a More important case had never, and could never, come into this COurt. It involved a great many of very nice, difficult, and serious common kw questions; at the same time, this Court was not aware filet in such a case it had jurisdiction to send a case to the Court of King's Bench, upon those purely legal points, bet even if it had, his Lordship would very much rather bear the thing discussed before himself, with the assistance of the common law Judges. The decision in this case would have to affect all the elections of coroners throughout England, and without any limitation of time. A case, therefore, so glaringly important, and raising questions that had never been decided by any Court in the king dom, his Lordship would not dispose of until after the vacation; hut as,soon after the sittings were resumed, his Lordship would request the Chief Justices of the Court of King's Bench and Common Pleas, to attend with him here, to have the case fully discussed before them, and the law, as applying thereto, laid down. The great objection to the present Coroner seemed to be, that he was disqualified to hold the office from not having been a suffi cient land-owner. If this were the law, -such .law would -have to be distinctly , declared. ELEPHANT AND CASTLE CHARITY. Mr. ll.ear said he wathappy to be able now - to state, that this matter, which had moved on most tardily and heavily for a lung time, he had now to mention' for the 'list time. A scheme bad been settled, and agreed to on both sides, for the edrninistration. of the Charity -t it - was also agreed, that the intim-flaw, (Mr. Hart's clients,) should have their coste, chans, and expences p a id ou t o f t h e f unds ; it wiproposed y the informants to pay the defendanta thele touts out of the estates, but the defendants insisted upon h iving , their charge.* and expences alms 'The Learned Counsel did not , apprehend that , the Court was in the habit of paying parties who came in as defendants their charges and expellees, but only wished to mention it, and leave it to the decision of the Court without argument. His LORDSHIP really thought it worth almoet any price, to get the disputes in this parish set at rest, and therefore hii opinion was, that all the parties should he paid their costs,'dierges, and expences, properly incurred in the matter. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(Ttris Da y .) CA APINTI IL V. -JOHNS. This was a petition praying that the Conti might order proof of the plaintiff's debt to he admitted under the commis sion of bankruptcy, taken out against the delendant. The case having been argued, the Vice-Chatmellor said • that Carpenter being in partneship in a banking concern with the defendants, Shields and Johns, withdrew front the firm in 1818. On the dissolution a deed was executed, whereby the ,defendants agreed to indemnify the petitioner from all the debts which the arm owed, the deed setting out that the house wai solvent at the time. It bad also the effect of annexing the ohl cre ditors to the new partnership. It turned out in investigation, that the house had been insolvent in 1816, to the arnotint of 17,0001., I though they did not become bankrupts nntil 1826, and the Com tuisaioners refused proof of Carpenter's claim on the firm, until he should pay in his one thirdaf the 17,0001. to which amount the also house had been insolvent - while he h a d b een a partner.—They • objected to the deed of indemnity as fraudulent, but his Honour saw n othing : fraudulent in the transaction. John, and Shields were aware of their insolvent state at the time that they un d er t o Ok , to indent, Carpenter ; it iltio appeared that they carried on the busmen for seven years after ; and it m ay tie, that they bed undertaken to pay his share of the debts on o th f l ell.isag°6ostra-awitilidoef tthraenl:atisetiliitme",.

HATTON GARbEN.--(Tuts Div.) A few days since, a gentleman who gave hit name, Mr. John Hewitt, of No. iOl, 6oswell-streei, applied fd the Wang Magis trate for his assistance, under the following circumstances : Mr. Hewitt said, that two days previous he had, ad con ip a ni e d by his wife an d a few friends, gone au' a party of pleasure to the Nore, on heti! hha Or Me eiFam paetefs, - leaving the house in charge of a female servant, of whose honesty they entertained the highest opinion. On the following day, he was Surprised at Seeing his wife in a state of the greatest possible agitation, Who; as soon as she could. sufficiently recover herself, informed him that during their alisenee,.a sum of MOWy to the amount of 100 sove reigns, had been stolen from a drawer in . thei r bed-rOorn. Not being awa re tha t any such sh in was there deposited, he was at a less how to ateciiint for the statement made by his wife, who he was *hood inclined "to suppose was affected by a fiuliporarr alie nation of intellect. He, however, was soon put in plowman of the, secret, whirls: wits rout* this the day of n4ll- mar riage, *bleb was neatly three years ago, his wife's father had, unknown to him, givettlerthe sum above-mentioned, as a pre sent for their first child at it. birth.. The money bad been care fully put buy in the drawer in question ; but from some appear ances of . .disorder ou opening 4, Mrs. H. suspected some person had been at it dining their. once ; and on a further inspection, the whole of the gold was mis ed , sa well as a swell box in which it had been, deposited. Mr. ROcEas said, he was afraid he could not render him any essential service, as his suspicions were not directed against any one particularly; he Might, however, take an officer with him if he pleased, who would examine the state of the house, and likewise question the girl as to what might have occurred its their absence. Edwards accordingly went with Mr. Hewitt, and on 'his return informed the, magistrate that there was not thealightest appear ance of Violence having been used, and the whole btisiness seemed wrapped in 'Mystery. The servant dented any knowledge of the circumstance, and protested that no one had been in the room but herself, while her master and Mistress were alit. He, Edwards, had searched the eleeping-room and boxes of the woman, but found nothing criminatory. It was singular, however, that the key of her bey tltted the drawer in question; but of this she also denied any previous knowledge. Things remained in this state until this morning; when Mr. H. again called at the office, anti after thanking the Magistrate for his kindness, and acknowledging the service* of Edwards, said the money had been found quite safe, in a place to which it had been removed some weeks before by his wife, and which circumstance had slipped her memory, on the alarm occasioned by the limpet , sition that the drawer had been opened in her absent+. He had now, however, taken it into his own charge, and hoped- to be able to give a better account of ft. . MARLBOROUGH , STREET.(Titts Dar.) A Solicitor, who said, that he was engaged for Mr. Deities, at tended at this office lett eilning. In alluding to the Case of Mrs. Parrick being accused of stealing the gold watch (as repotted. in our Paper of yesterday), he stated that it hail been the iittentibti of Mr. Deities to prosecute; but some person connected with Mrs. Parrick had beep to him, and promised that if the prosecution wan dropped, the watch should be forthcoming. The Magistrate obseivedt that such conduct was highly iniproper: A ettininons had been issued fo r th e attendance of ?deb .

MANSION -HOUSE--(Tuts DAI.) A dirty-looking Jew came to complain of at night constah/e for having refused to perform his duty, by receiving in custody at man who had - committed a breach of the peace. The complainant said he had been very seriously annoyed by a low fellow who attacked him, and committed such an assault upon him as unperson of respectability could pas over. He therefore gave him in custody. He was a fellow who made it, a practice to annoy persons of character by abusive language, and by what he called larking with them, which was a sort of play that low felloWs might have between themselves, hut they were nut to be allowed to force it upon others. The night constable, however, refused to take the charge, or allow him to remain in the watch hot-Ise. The complainant assured his Lordship "'pots his ho nour," and upon the " word of a gentleman," that the hehavlour of the night constable was highly imProper. The Lord illayoa wished to know what was the avocation of the person by whom he had the honour to be addressed, and who. used such dignified language. The complainant said, he re-bound hats for those whe sold them. The LORD MAvon reprehended the hat-Milder for his tmpu dencet and said, this general assumption of the style and title of gentility, by persons of the very lowest education and condition, must be by no means agreeable to those who had more substantiA claims to the 'honour, and was A sort of caricature upon it sthich could not be countenane el ). Th e complainant might be a very respectable bind er of old or new hats, and an holiest man in his way, but could not be allowed to call himself a gentleman. The night constable, who Is himself one Of the most digtlitied of his ordek, on being asked what he had to say in answer to the charge which he bad treated as beneath his notice, said, in a con temptuous tone, "Oh, my Lord, it *as a dirty low abusive vaga bond that I did not think proper to receive into my watch-halite. I don't admit any but Gentlemen, or persons of proper character, info r nly watch-horse." .(Loud la ughter.) The LORD MAYOR said it was really a difficult thing for a Magistrate to regulate the points of etiquette and dignity *filch were entertained by some persons. What with the gentlemanly feelings of the hat-binder, 'and the ideas of the night constable, as to the sanctity of the place where he presided, the authority of the magistrate Was placed in a dilemma. His Lordship begged to inform the constable, that the watch-house was not made exclusively for • gentlemen, or persons of respectability, though some might be ad 'pitted there, and admonished him for the future not to keep out persons of lower rank, lest they should avail themselves of their privilege of impunity, to the inconvenience of the public. F.A.SHIONABLt NTELOGEIICt. WINDSOR, AUG, 9.—His MAJESTY and Suite hive visited Virginia Water both yesterday and Mon day afternoon, proceeding from the Royal Lodge through Chapel Wood and the adjacent plantations,. and returning by the Obelisk and Cumberland Lodge.

The improvements at Virginia Water are in a great state of forwardness, and the road through the Great Park to Blacknest and Sunninghill has been temporarily stopped during the rebuilding of one of the bridges over the Lake.

There is now residing at March an old seaman, named James Gill, upwards of fourscore years of age, who saved himself from sharing the untimely fate of many a braVe compa nion in glory, by swimming out of one of the lower port holes of the Royal decrye commanded by Admiral Kempenfelt, which gallant vessel being on the heel at Spithead, on the 29th of August, 1782, overset and sunk, when upward. of 1,2 00 persons were on board, including men, women, and children, out of which number, it was computed, upwards of 900 were drown rd, amongst whom were the brave Admiral Keznpenfelt, and many of hie officers. Arnong the number of survivors was the old seaman above alluded to, who hae, until the last two months, contrived to get a scanty livelihood by mending sails and tarpaulins. He is now, through illness and failure of eye-sight, incipacited froni following his usual eniployment, and with his aged partner, is supported by a weekly pittance from the parish officers of Mardi. Old Jemmy is now growing very infirm, and not being able to get the usual quota of grog be was accustomed to when employed, is fast steering to that haven from which no seaman or landsman ever returned. It is suppo sed there are now very few survivors who once formed part of the noble crew of that unfortunate ship the .Royal Gsor . oe.
